Any social workers make a transition away from micro direct care clinical practice to something like Hr or operations in a health tech company? I recently worked for one and while there I helped out on the operations team. Since then I’ve had a big interest in shifting away from direct clinical practice. However, I am finding it hard to figure out how to brand/market myself and translate my clinical skills to language that would fit with operations/project management roles. Any insight?

You'll wanna use more business language and more macro focused. You're looking for work that deals with day to day programming and logistics that fit the strategic goals of the company. You'll help to lead, manage, and coordinate to develop, implement, and monitor projects according to your company's resources and needs. If you wanna get certified in pmi, it'd probably be a good idea, its just a test. I'm currently getting it too.

I have also been thinking about shifting out of direct clinal practice as an LCSW, wondering if you have any job titles that you suggest to look into?
